How to Uninstall Office 2013 Customer Preview Easily

The next generation of MS Office suite (MS Office 2013) from Microsoft has been available for testing on Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. Office 2013, designed for keyboard, pen and touch, packs-in powerful new features of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and OneNote programs.

The newest version of Office lets you save documents in your SkyDrive and share your documents with others online.

The best thing is that one can explore the new Office version without removing previous Office installations as i have already described in this post. MS Office 2013 works fine alongwith your existing MS Office 2003, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010 installations. You just need to have a minimum of 3.5 GB of free disk space before proceeding for the installation. 

While most users are quite happy and impressed with the new look and features, but some people are not happy with this version. If you are also not happy with this build, you can easily uninstall Office 2013 from your PC by following the given below instructions.

How to uninstall Office 2013 Customer Preview:

1. Before you uninstall Office suite from your PC, you need to deactivate Office.

2. After deactivating MS Office, open Programs and Features by typing appwiz.cpl in Run dialog (press Windows + R hotkey to launch Run dialog) and pressing enter key.

3. Right-click on Office 365, and then click Uninstall option. A small confirmation dialog will appear. Click Uninstall button to start uninstalling the Office suite. Once done, you will see “Done uninstalling” message.

Now, you can continue with your previous installed MS Office. Enjoy.
